WDL validates and runs fine standalone, but crashes when uploaded to Firecloud

I inherited a large block of WDL 1.0 It validates fine on womtool 32, 33.1, and 34, and I've tested that it runs fine on Cromwell 34. However, when I try to upload it to the method repo, via ether GUI or FISSFC, I get a WDL validation error:
Error 400 (FireCloud): Invalid WDL: Unrecognized token on line 653, column 23:
-t ~{cpu} \ ^
Any idea what is happening or the best way to debug?

FireCloud does not yet support WDL 1.0. If you adjust the syntax to $ instead of ~, it should work.

Our project manager who sets that particular timeline is currently on vacation. However, I do know that it is the top priority item on our fourth quarter goals this year. I will get back to you if I hear otherwise when she returns from vacation.

Is WDL 1.0 on a near-term roadmap for FireCloud?
I'm not sure on that one, let me check and get back to you.
